I'm 23 soon and balding pretty hard. How much will it fuck up my dating life? Can a guy be bald and still considered hot in some way?
Can you at least rock a buzz cut or is it fugged?
>>17664411
>Shave head.
>Grow goatee.
>Get tattoos.
Problem solved.
Just shave it all off. Some girls like bald guys. my sister's engaged to one
> be me
> senior in HS
> have gone out with a girl i've been crushing on for years three times so far this quarter, she's really enjoyed all of the things we've done
> don't really talk in school because she's shy and usually wants to be by herself
> didn't have the balls to actually touch her/say we're going on an actual date
> on the way back to her house she drops a giant hint that she wanted me to ask her to homecoming, it flys over my head because I was tired
> I know she doesn't have a date
> going to try and ask her out tomorrow, but homecoming is 9 days after tomorrow
How fucked am I, lads? I feel like a real retard and now because i'm a pansy i'm paying the price. I had my epiphany, but I'm not sure if it's come too late.
What's your prognosis?
9 days is plenty of fucking time. Collect yourself and ask her to homecoming before she gets cucked away.
Put it in your head that she's the shy one and make it happen. It's just a dance. It doesn't need to be perfect.
>>17664412
Okay. Should I say anything in particular since I was a cuck and waited too long, or just straight up ask her? I'm leaning towards the latter because if I get too wordy I might drop the spaghetti, but i'm iffy on whether or not I need to say something to compensate for the fact that i'm a moron.
>>17664422
Straight up asking her , preferably with a little lead in . A lot of nu males on this board will say that this is a bad idea , but anything that makes you vulnerable as men actually makes you attractive (i.e. , asking a girl out in the blue ) because women don't want orbiters or people who are full of themselves , but people who take chances . Plus you already hung out with this girl so she probably already likes you .
The sooner , the better OP. I got cucked once by two days back in high school . Godspeed .
I missed a court date and now have a warrant. What should I do?
>>17664375
run
>>17664380
That's not helpful
Just continue living life, try not to encounter cops?
It was a misdemeanor, I was sentenced to pay a fine of $150. But I kind of forgot... or didn't care enough. And am just now remembering, I realize this can come back to bite me later on
>start diet
>stick to it religiously
>no problem
>lose 35 lbs
>loosen up on it/give up on it
cant remeber what did this
>gain 10 lbs
>trouble sticking to 1500 calories anymore
what do.
>>17664290
shit i don't know but I wish i could cut down to 1500, it's so hard to do
>>17664300
yeah
its hard now but back then it wasn't as insane as it was.
I used to just eat veggies and chicken but god i got sick of cooking chicken every night so i decided to go fuck it and started eating whatever.
How much do you weight? 1500 calories is pretty low, you shouldn't consume less than 500 calories under your maintenance level.
Anyways, you should eliminate all calorie bombs and foods with low nutritional values from your diet. Your diet should consist mostly of vegetables and meat. If you have trouble keeping a diet like this you should start working out more. Cardio will help you loose more calories on the spot, but weight lifting will help you more in the long run (higher muscle mass means more calorie consumption at all times).
In fact I think it's mandatory to exercise along diet whenever you're trying to lose weight. If you're consuming much under your maintenance calorie and have no physical activities your body goes in hibernation mode and stores all the energy it can get. You will still lose weight, but as soon as you stop dieting you'll get that weight back at alarming rates. Exercising will also increase the amount of calories you require so you'll be able to eat more.
any advice on figuring out this clown bullshit? whered it come from? why is it so prevalent? is it a weirs fad or is there organization to the madness?
>>17664271
someone did it for fun. others followed suit. its prevelant because it went viral. it went viral because its an odd real life occurence that mirrors thigns we've seen in the media.
clowns roam in the uncanny valley, and while many argue clowns arent scary, the ones that are purposely grotesque are designed to psychologically scare us.
its just a fad. one guy did something. others wanted to do it too.
>>17664271
I just saw one. My car broke down and I was trying to push start it behind some a shopping center. He only had white face paint and was smoking an e-cig. I was getting ready to fight him but he kept on walking.
what i dont get is that some are out there intimudating grown adults and some are offering children candy to come into the woods
I was gonna post this on r9k but they dont allow advice threads or something. I'm going to my first appointment with a therapist. I'm pretty spregy and am hoping to be able to acquire NEETbucks. What do I need to say or not say so that I dont fuck this up like everything else I've done in life? Also I dont want to be institutionalized.
TL:DR: how to get NEETbux for being sperglord
>>17664270
Do you want to someone or yourself?
If yes, try an institution, they're actually pretty good.
self bump
pls respond my appointment is in the morning
How long did it take you to get a job in high school?
Most of time after school ends up being a lot of making phone calls and filling out apllications, and I've been doing this for a good month or so, with no good results. What do you guys think?
well, best thing to do is to go volunteer your work for free in an area you want to have a career in. Just show up to the place and tell them what you want to do and that the experience would be enough for you. It almost always leads to a job.
>>17664269
Two weeks. I've filled out dozens and dozens and dozens of online applications, I never got a single callback until I went physically into the place and asked to speak to the manager.
My sister got a fast food job today. She filled out the application online, and then went in a couple times a week. She got an interview last week, but they never called. She went in today on a whim, and the manager hired her on the spot.
If you have an inbox with 75 applications in it, and one of those people shows up right in front of you, guess who is getting the interview.
You gots to pound the pavement.
>>17664269
When I was in high school and finally old enough for a job the recession was in full swing. I didn't really get a job til I was 22.
I don't know if you guys remember me but a few weeks ago I wrote about how I came across a picture of my grandmother. I became infatuated with the picture and started to fall in love with my grandmother. I start visiting her every day just to see her.
I started off by rubbing her feet for her and working my way up to rubbing her back. One day when she was tired and on her meds I leaned in for a kiss. It was for a good 3 or 5 seconds but it felt magical. I was unsure of whether or not she was lucid enough to remember it.
I'll see her again tonight. I'm not sure how to bring it up or how to stop these feelings?
Pic related, it's her
...what?
>>17664254
wow she was pretty cute
also this would be a good plotline for a book
tell her the truth before she bites the dust
what do you even want from her tho?
>>17664254
she looks hot in that pic but does she look anything like that now?
okay, here is the situation -and sorry if i'm not doing this properly, it is my first time posting here-:
>meet girl
>get along very, very well
>she is as excited to spend time with me -at least when we are at the same place- as i am to spend time with her, -perhaps even more after this:- but she isn't flirty
>turns out she has a bf
>she is still very friendly
>even if i don't make any efforts to be together, we are still together because she makes the effort if i don't -except some days where she acts all qool and stuff-
>i want to her to be mine
>but i don't want to lose her as a friend if on the fat chance she turns me down
What do I do? Tell her, and add "it doesn't have to get awkward between us" and hope for the best?
oh and, I should note: She is a very shy person, afraid of interacting with strangers (tho she wants to), littl bit autistic etc. So "normie" criterias (?) might not apply to her
She isn't reciprocating, and she has a bf.
If you are still attached to her, take a break from hanging out and assess if you can even remain friends without you ruining everything.
Don't think about pursuing her unless she is having irreparable problems in her relationship to where she tells you she is going to end it.
I'm not saying that there isn't ever going to be a future, but move on for now, remain friends, and revisit this topic again later when the above things mentioned aren't an issue. Don't wait around for this one.
>>17664253
This is of course the logical thing to do, but I can't stop thinking that if she knows I like her, she might turn to me. Our "friendship" is truly sincere, we are -my looks apart- made for each other, so I keep thinking she would feel the same way and eventually come to me. I know this is quite naive thinking, but I can't help it. And this is also why I want her friendship even without the romance: There aren't many people I share the things I share with her, and I rarely make close friends.
And about taking a break from hanging out with her, that is impossible without breaking her heart/coming off cold to her. We are taking almost all our classes together and we use the same route to go home, so the only way we don't interact is if one -or both of us- deliberately ignore the other. I've stopped making efforts to be *next to* her in classes etc, but she waits for me and whatever so we end up being near each other eventually.
This problem is like mine but kinda different.
>Same lines 1-3 (Meet girl etc. etc.)
First date ever thanks to friend whoop.
>Take her out for lunch. Go to her house to see her artwork.
>Text a lot for four days. Really short response times. Responds at any time.
>hangout at her work place (she's a tutors she has free time.)
>messages start dwindling.
>Still hangout with her, she seemed happy to see me/ doesnt say I'm bothering her.
>Trying take her on another date/ hang out.
She declines because she's busy. I understand she's working on two college majors.
>Ask her out for coffee after works she says yes.
Yeah baby.
>Wait for her.
Watch her get in her car. She doesn't notice me watching her.Get text saying she's sick and she had to cancel. >feels bad man.
>See her two days later she is sick okay.jpg
>Try texting her to see how's she doing. No response. Send a message one message a day for four days no response. (Don't want to do none of that double, triple texting that's just desperate.)
>Asks friend who set me up with girl. For advice see if I'm being creepy. (First "relationship")
Flash back to asking friend about girl. He's says she's talking to someone but it isn't serious.
>Find out he was the one talking to her.
He apologizes I forgive him. (Though I'm not totally convinced.)
>Message girl. Finally girl starts texting me again.
Want to talk to her about revelation to see if it's true.
>try to take her to coffee.
Nope, too busy.
Here I am. What do I do?
This semester I'll be graduating Community College with an Associate's. I want to do animation, and preferably, do studio work (entry level positions from the degree like storyboarding) on the side, while doing things like music, comedy, animation (of my own series), writing, and the like. There's three school options so far:
1) Is the old State school I went to before I graduated CC with a 3.4, I failed out after not being used to the college system straight out of high school. Decently cheap (~4000) never mind an apartment with my friends(~2500), who themselves will be graduating within a few years. Animation and Illustration major, covers 2D (preferred) and 3D. Should have all 55-58 Associate credits transfer, start as a junior, finish degree in 2 to 2 1/2 years. Problem is, because I failed out, I lost all aid and have to submit an appeal to get it back, plus, even though credits transfer GPA still counts from failed classes (0.70) 3 years back. Would need aid to go at all, we're poor. Portfolio req'd; I can only draw cartoons and shitty observationals
2) Another upstate school, 4000 with fees included, off campus probably similar to school #1, but with new people I don't know. Or ~6000 for room and board bringing to 20k a year, which unless is covered fully is too much. Primarily 3D animation (more marketable) No portfolio required.
3) Nearby school. 3200-4000 tuition. No room/board, commute. Everything about this school fits best with me being able to work, to stay at my pa'a and keep my dog, not give him to my ma. Problem is one, they want a portfolio too. Two, the major is graphic design, which is more broad, possibly more earning potential, but definitely more boring, mathematical approach to art
Please help, I'm going nuts
Bump
I can't tell you what to choose but I can tell you from experience that if you're going to do school and work simultaneously, do not get in over your head.
If you can only handle 12 credit hours, don't go above it just to graduate sooner.
Taking 6 years of college is fine as you're getting the grade. Employers literally don't care how long you're in school as long as you've got the skills
>>17664365
That's a trap to feed more money into the system, there's no reason a 4 year degree shouldn't take you 4 years
But still, at most it should be 2 1/2 years for any of the options I listed even going just 12 credits 12+12=24+24=48+12=60 credits, since I have about that, I should be set
Why do so many graduated music majors say majoring in music is a bad idea yet they have done it themselves? This literally comes out of every music majors mouth. If they think it's a bad idea how come they went through with it?
Because they are smarter in hindsight.
I'm a music student, planning to make it my major even though I realise it's not a very safe career financial wise.
I can't speak for other people, but I'm guessing it's such a passion that it's not really a choice for them to do anything else. That doesn't mean we can't be self-aware.
>>17664189
because they either werent told it was bad, or they didn't believe the people who told them and are now trying to stop people from being as stupid as they were.
My gf has had a rough childhood and isn’t ready nor can afford therapy. How do I help her?
>>17664178
By leaving her and escaping toxic relationship where you won't get pussy, will be screamed at, blamed for everything and at the end she will threaten to an hero if you will want to dump her.
>>17664192
thats what i was gonna say
Leave.
Mental illness will destroy relationships without the proper help. You will struggle and show as much empathy as you can possibly muster, but there will be a breaking point. No amount of reading up on mental issues will help the relationship other than slightly understanding what is going on.
Either have her find a way to fund therapy or leave.
>Was on tinder months ago
>Had this girl from there on my snapchat
>We chat every now and again, nothing serious but haven't met
>Have date with her Saturday
She is Mexican, only been in the states for 6 months, but she speaks near perfect english because she is a language major. She seems really nerdy, and her accent is 10/10, never heard a mexican with her accent before.
But I'm honestly thinking of flaking. She is here for school, and will only be here for the rest of this semester, and the next, but then she is leaving. I asked what she was looking for, and she said she wasn't sure, because she gets attached to relationships really quickly, but the issue is she is leaving in 6-ish months.
I don't want to date/get involved with a girl leaving soon, but I also don't want to flake and hurt her feelings.
What do?
>>17664164
Fuck her then when times up ship her on the first boat back from where she came from
>>17664164
Fuck her then go to a Vegas chapel and get married. Continue fucking her for however long and then get it annulled or something.
She's Mexican. If you fuck her, you are 20x more likely to conceive a little frito pendejo than with any other woman.
I only say this as you are already second guessing this whole thing and you probably don't want an anchor baby relationship. I am not joking around. They are always ovulating and their eggs are heat seeking.
I am 181 cm tall (5.11 or 6 feet) and weight only 55 kilos (121 lbs) how do i get fatter ? I am 18 by the way
go to fit, read the sticky
>>17664130
Wtf.
I'm a manlet and I weight more than you. I'm pretty sure I could even beat you in a fight.
>>17664137
i bet everyone could beat me in a fight at the moment hahahaha
I really fucked up.
Long story short, I violated a provision of the syllabus in one of my classes at law school. The resulting punishment is automatic failure of the class.
The professor says he doesn't want to force me to fail or repeat (because the highest grade you can get when you repeat it is a C), but it's explicitly stated in the syllabus that the resulting punishment is failure.
He called me in and told me that I have one chance to give him a reason to not enforce it to the full extent. The only thing I've managed to think of is that I can provide medical documentation of ADHD, and I haven't been taking medication for it. I'm not sure how well that'll hold up, because I don't have a medical disability on file with the school.
What the fuck should I do?
You have to tell us what this rule is so we can help you argue against enforcing it. Idiot.
>>17664110
What is your transgression?
